The Fridge Concert Series Season 49 is officially here, and it is exactly what May in Dubai needed. Running from May 5 to May 19, 2026, the latest season takes over The Fridge Warehouse in Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz, with three separate nights of live, original performances. Tickets are AED 70 per show and are available now on Platinumlist.

What Is The Fridge Concert Series?

The Fridge Concert Series is one of Dubai's most consistent platforms for live, independent music. Held at The Fridge Warehouse inside the Alserkal Avenue arts district in Al Quoz, the series gives local and regional artists a real stage in front of an audience that shows up specifically for the music. The venue is intimate by design, which means the distance between the crowd and the performer stays minimal. The Fridge Season 49 brings three acts to the stage on three consecutive Monday nights in May, each covering a different genre and a different side of what the Dubai live music scene has to offer.

The Season 49 Lineup

The season opens on May 5 with [Domina]( a Soul/R&B artist, supported by Grasshoppers featuring Al3s3s. It is a strong opener for anyone who wants something soulful and live on a Monday night in Al Quoz.

On May 12, [Sandra Ivette]( takes the stage for what is set to be the most anticipated night of the season. The Cuban/World music artist will debut her album Comienzo live and in full with a six-piece band — playing son, trova, danzón, and jazz. A full live album debut at an intimate venue, backed by a proper band, is a rare thing in this city. Book this one early.

The season closes on May 19 with [Celine Dee Matahari]( performing Pop and Ballads in what is her first headline show in an intimate setting. A fitting end to a three-week run that covers serious musical ground.

Event Details

Why This Is Worth Your Monday Night

Live music at this price point and at this scale is not something Dubai offers every week. Three different genres, three original artists, three nights inside one of the city's most respected arts venues in Al Quoz. The Fridge Concert Series has a track record of selling out, so booking early is the smarter call. If your May calendar has room for one live music event, this is the one to lock in.

What to Expect

Each night follows the same format — doors at 7:15 PM, show at 8:00 PM. The Fridge Warehouse keeps things stripped back: no festival production, no massive rigs, just good sound in a room where the artist is close enough that you can actually feel the performance. That format works especially well for the May 12 show, where Sandra Ivette's six-piece band will perform Comienzo in full — one of the more genuine live music moments the city will see this month.

The Fridge Season 49 is a proper addition to the May 2026 social calendar.

Tickets are AED 70 per night on Platinumlist. Doors open at 7:15 PM, shows start at 8:00 PM at The Fridge Warehouse, Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz, Dubai.
